LiamL Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 This is an ammonite i got in a bundle of fossils last year, they didnt say where they came from and what they were. Is this a Hildoceras? Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Maybe Hildoceras bifrons ? 2 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

Tidgy's Dad Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Yes, it looks like Hildoceras bifrons probably from the Yorkshire coast in England, maybe Whitby, judging from the preservation. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 It is a pity, but it's still a very nice, good-sized ammonite. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
